  (#72451, herbygillot in 3ea4d20)

MacPorts 2.12.3

Changes since 2.12.2:

• Fixed checksum mismatch when ports that share one or more
  distfiles are fetched by an action. (#73587, jmr in c4d2176)

• Fixed duplicate "Upgrading already installed dependencies"
  message. (jmr in dcbe314)

MacPorts 2.12.2

Changes since 2.12.1:

• Files in the destroot owned by the unprivileged macports user are
  now chowned to ${install.user}. (#73516, jmr in a1223b7, fc5a3d6)

• Fixed error when starting archive fetch under some circumstances.
  (jmr in 4508cb3)

• Fixed unnecessarily downloading an archive when a port has
  already been destrooted locally. (jmr in bbca8be)

MacPorts 2.12.1

Changes since 2.12.0:

• Fixed error extracting ports synced with rsync on systems with an
  older version of tar. (#73467, jmr in cf8e6d5)

• Fixed port upgrade not respecting the -p option.
  (#73472, jmr in c81f3d6)

• Enabled signature verification for the daily tarball, now that a
  signature is being published for it. (jmr in a472c5a)

• Enabled threaded fetching for port mirror. (jmr in be806ac)

MacPorts 2.12.0

Changes since 2.11.6:

• Files are now downloaded in background threads, so downloads
  needed for upcoming port installations can progress while other
  ports are being installed. The new fetch_threads macports.conf
  option controls the maximum number of simultaneous downloads.
  (jmr in 632eab5)

• Performance of dependency calculation is improved by checking
  availability of archives in background threads, and by processing
  ports that don't need that check first.
  (jmr in 2eed186, e668a7b, e83422f)

• port upgrade now displays the list of ports that will be
  upgraded or installed before starting, and asks for confirmation
  if running interactively. (jmr in e3def17)

• port upgrade now has a progress counter showing the total
  number of ports to be upgraded and the current port's position in
  the list. (#5001, jmr in 82964b8)

• Syncing the ports tree via rsync should now perform better by
  only extracting updated files from the tarball. (jmr in df4d61b)

• Updated the bundled Tcl to 8.6.17. (jmr in 1555f20)

• The use_* options related to the type of distfile (use_bzip2,
  use_xz, etc) have been reworked. Setting one of them now unsets
  the rest. The extract.cmd, extract.pre_args, extract.post_args,
  and extract.suffix options now have dynamic defaults based on
  which of the use_* options are set (if any). Extract dependencies
  are now added in a callback at the end of Portfile parsing,
  rather than immediately on setting a use_* option, so the
  dependencies reflect the final option values.
  (#64960, jmr in 4d1304b)

• Timestamps in logs now have millisecond precision.
  (#72600, jmr in 871d039)

• Fixed error when running port info --index --fullname.
  (jmr in b413e63)

MacPorts 2.11.6

Changes since 2.11.5:

• Fixed possible failure of (x)install -d when something else
  creates the directory while it is running.
  (#72886, jmr in 97aedd9)

• Fixed sandbox error when building with Xcode on Mac OS X 10.5.
  (#72940, jmr in 81ada26)

• Prefer to use /usr/bin/bsdtar for HFS Compression when possible,
  since the libarchive port doesn't work while its dependencies
  are being upgraded. (#73103, jmr in c391f3f)

• Fixed permissions errors due to incorrect group membership
  management. (#73160, jmr in 4497293)

MacPorts 2.11.5

Changes since 2.11.4:

• Fixed unexpected behaviour of (x)install commands on APFS in
  some cases. (#72850, jmr in ea247a7, d8cfd53)

• Fixed a Makefile race condition that could cause installing
  MacPorts from source to fail sometimes (including when running
  selfupdate.) (#72802, jmr in 85db375)

• Fixed incorrect behaviour of portindex -p when not using an
  override file. (#72785, jmr in 1b58a9d)

• Fixed the last resort entry in release_version_urls used by
  selfupdate, which was pointing to the wrong branch and so would
  usually not indicate that a new version is available.
